The Build
The owners of Pizzeria Badiali have been a long-time client of PT General Contractor. They retained PT for the construction of the restaurant at 581 Markham Street, in the heritage part of the newly built Mirvish Village in Toronto, the day they signed the lease. PT had also visited the space with the owners a couple of times while they were reviewing the lease. PT executed the base building work first, to bring the space to a stage where the work for Pizzeria Badiali could start. PT took care of the MEP design and construction of the whole job. From construction through MEP and millwork, the whole project was executed and coordinated by PT, with structural work also in scope. The space is about 2,200 square feet. The timeline was 4 months, and Pizzeria Badiali opened for business in May 2026.
The Build
PT built a custom drywall bulkhead that curves in a 3D plane, and forming that curve freehand was a challenge in itself. The whole place was then lime washed. The millwork included woodwork, metalwork and glasswork. It was a small-footprint retail fit-out in Toronto, packed with a lot of different materials, with PT handling the mechanical, electrical and plumbing work, the construction and the millwork. The shop, about 450 square feet, took 10 weeks and was completed in December 2025.
